1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. 7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him ; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
KAPTINA IV.
1 Mbaskëndai pashë, edhe nje nji der’ e çelë ndë qiell; edhe zan’ i parë qi ndëgjova porsi za trumbete qi fliste bashkë me mue, e thoshte: Hip këtu, edhe kam me të diftuem sa duhenë me u bamë mbaskëndai.
2 Edhe përnjiherë erdha ndë shpirt; edhe nje tek ishte nji shkamp ndë qiell, edhe mbi shkampt po rrinte kushi .
3 Edhe ai qi rrinte gjante mbë të pamit porsi gur iaspide edhe sardine; edhe ishte nji yl-ber rreth shkampit qi gjante mbë të pamit porsi smaragdinë.
4 Edhe rreth shkambit ishinë njizet e katër shqembe; edhe mbë shqembet pashë ndenjunë të njizet e katër pleqtë, veshunë me petëka të bardha, edhe kishinë mbi krenët të vet kunora t’arta.
5 Edhe delshinë prei shkambit vetima e bumbullimë e zana. Edhe përpara shkambit ishinë shtatë llambadhe të ziarrmit ndezunë, të cillatë janë shtatë Shpirtënat’ e Hyjit.
6 Edhe përpara shkambit ishte nji det gastareje, qi gjante porsi krystalë. Edhe ndë miedis të shkambit edhe rreth shkambit katër shtasë, qi ishinë plot me sy përpara e mbrapa.
7 Edhe shtas’ e parë gjante porsi leon, edhe shtas’ e dytë gjante porsi viç, edhe shtas’ e tretë e kishte faqenë porsi njeri, edhe shtas’ e katërtë gjante porsi shqipe qi fluturon.
8 Edhe të katër shtasëtë kishinë gjithë-se-cilla veç e veç ka gjashtë fletë përqark, edhe përmbrenda ishinë plot me sy; edhe s’kanë të prajtunë dit’ e natë, tue thanë: Shenjt, Shenjt, Shenjt, Zoti Hyj Gjithë-pushtetësi, ai qi ishte edhe qi asht’ edhe qi vien.
9 Edhe shtasëtë kur i apinë lavdi e nder e të falunë ndersë ati qi rrinte mbë shkampt, qi rron ndë jetët të jetëvet,
10 të njizet e katër pleqtë do t’i bijenë përpara ati qi rri mbë shkampt, edhe do t’e adhurojën’ ate qi rron ndë jetët të jetëvet, edhe do të venë kunorat’ e veta përpara shkambit, tue thanë:
11 I vëjefshim je, o Zot, me marrë lavdin’ e nderin’ e fuqinë, sepse ti krijove të gjitha, edhe për dashuniminë tat jan’ edhe u krijuenë.
